The 911 would only be an option if you can live with the imposed battery constraints this car comes with. I can't find the thread anymore where somebody posted the dealer note with the long list of things you have to observe if you don't want the battery to die prematurely. The biggest two I recall are never let the battery drop below 30%, or the car will no longer start w/o having it first towed to a dealership. If the battery gets close to 30% you must idle it in Sport+ to charge it, since it can't be plugged in. But the biggest issue is probably that you can't park it anywhere such as outside in the sun if there's a chance the battery could experience ambient temperatures greater than 30 degrees Celsius.
I was intrigued by the new T-Hybrid system until I read that. Not a very usable car with everything you have to watch out for. Given that my car sits sometimes for several weeks, monitoring the battery and making sure it doesn't drop below 30% isn't my idea of car ownership.
